- THE MAIN GAME :
-
- Your mission is to clear all the five worlds of the alien ships
- and meteors. Move your ship on the map-screen on top of the
- level you wish to clear,and press fire.
-
- First,the meteors.
- The amount of hits they can take depends on their colour.
-
- They come in 4 different colours:
- the golden meteor takes the most hits before it's destroyed
- the purple meteor is the second hardest piece of rock to get rid of
- the blue meteor is a bit on the easy side
- the grey meteor is kids stuff
-
- when shot,the meteors divide into smaller ones until you shoot
- the last little pieces which sometimes turn into helpful tokens.
- The tokens can provide you extra weaponry like gun power ups,
- missiles,smart bombs etc. The letters in the tokens describe
- What you get from collecting one. If you leave the token alone,
- the letter will change and the token will finally disappear.
-
- X - Extra life
- HEART - Full energy
- B - Mega bomb
- G - Gun power up
- * - Smart bomb
- E - Control improvement
- S - Shields
- P - Points
-
-
- Next,the time limit.
- If you fail to clear a level in the required time,an alien mothership
- will arrive and deploy a horde of little fighters all out to get you.
- Your ship's energy and shield.
- Your ship can withstand a couple of hits before it explodes.
- The amount of energy loss depends on the speed of the collision.
- The damage meter is shown on the lower right corner of the screen.
- The ship is equipped with a shield (the shield meter is located
- next to the energy meter) which can be activated by simply pushing
- DOWN on the joystick.
-
- THE WARP SECTION :
-
- All the five worlds in the game are connected by hyperspace tunnels.
- Once you have cleared all the levels on a world, a "W"-icon will
- appear on the map-screen.Move your ship on the top of it and press fire
- to enter the tunnel. Fly your ship to the end of the tunnel and evade or
- destroy the incoming rocks, mines or aliens. You can also collect some
- tokens in the tunnel.
-
- Your energy meter is located in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Should your ship only graze a meteor, your energy will be slightly
- decreased, but a jackpot collision will destroy your ship immediately.
- The mines are a greater threat than the meteors, as even the slightest
- hit from a mine can be a deadly one.
-
- THE SPECIAL MISSION :
-
- After some of the worlds have been cleared, a special mission
- icon "SM" will appear on the map-screen. Move your ship on top
- of it and press fire to enter the special mission level. The
- purpose of the special mission is to collect as many extra lives
- as you can. Your ship has a limited amount of fuel, but you can
- get extra fuel by collecting an "F" token. To get out of this
- level you have to find the teleport by following the arrows.
